Board of Health, which arrived yesterday,
has been in executive session this morning.
1t will appoint inspectors to guard all the
approaches from Mexico and at points
where infection is likely to spread. Great
indignation is felt over the sensational and
exaggerated reports publishedin a San Fran
cisco journal relative to the small pox here,
especially such as the charge that informa-
ton relative to the disease has been sup
pressed by the newspapers and officials.
Such is not the fact. The local papers have
published the facts each day for the past
three weeks, and they have been tele-
graphed broadcast. One more death oc-
CURED Sunday, making five in all since the
disease commenced, and one new case is
reported. There is one case at Mojaye.
